The scripts were similar for both of Southern's basketball games on Saturday at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, but the endings weren't to the Jaguars' liking.After quickly falling behind by double digits in both games, Southern never led in the second half of either one. Arkansas-Pine Bluff rolled to a 70-53 win in the women's game, and held on for a 62-55 win in the nightcap after the Southern men had cut the deficit to one point.The turning point was on the backboards, where Arkansas-Pine Bluff (9-11, 5-2 SWAC) outrebounded Southern 40-28.
